creates a new catagorie at the top called overlayers. under this clicking PD1 overlay will create
a single transparent overlay layer. As a colorizer on reddit/r/colorizationrequests I desired a short cut
to clicking layers, transparent, then changing the mode to overlay, so I asked around and
Pat David (http://blog.patdavid.net) was kind enough to attempt a script. There were a few bugs that
I repaired and a few modifications I made so this script is a joint effort.
